The title and lyrics of this song were inspired by the 1960s television program, The Andy Griffith Show. Floyd, Barney, Opie and Aunt Bee were characters in the portrayal of a small, idyllic American town called Maybury. Cobain used the show’s innocent setting to tell a twisted story of going to the barber for a shave, only to end up being held captive, then tortured, raped, and murdered by the locals. Using this platform, he makes a philosophical point, describing how people of the time whitewashed their ‘50s upbringing to the point of refusing to acknowledge real social issues of the time. Strangely enough, according to NME, police reports implied that when Cobain’s body was found, a nearby television was tuned to a station that aired syndicated re-runs of The Andy Griffith Show. It may have been one of the last images he saw. Annotation provided by: genius.com/Nirvana-floyd-the-barber-lyrics
Smothered by Aunt Bee's Muff or Andy's Blood? Both are awesome lyrics. I love the twisted horror movie version of that show in one great song. Love your work!
Coming from that generation between the generation I always got the dark humor in this...Floyd the Barber and everything off Bleach was perfect (except the mixing, the drum and sometimes bass tracks could have used a little more gain on the board, imo). I think Nirvana did a lot of it in 1 take, which is why the transition from one song to another was so seamless...and how they cut the cost to just $600(or something like $606 and 17 cents, to be exact), by saving studio time.
Wow thanks for these. Kurt clearly wanted Unplugged to be a different vibe than anything else they’d done, which is why he chose so many covers and to have the Meat Puppets as guests. I do think if there was more Nirvana material in that set it would’ve been more interesting.
I often loved listening to Nirvana songs in my youth as they were mostly depressing, but the Floyd one always left me smiling, what a brilliant random and funny lyric.
Mate if you could get some kind of permission from the Nirvana "owners" you could make an album and get some kind of royalties. You have done a phenomenal job. Maybe find a Nirvana contact and send a song or 2 and see what they say. I'd certainly pay for these.
Same here! I'd buy every version. I even used the Drain You unplugged at my wedding and some of my music savvy guests were like "whoa, where did this come from?..."
Ehhh, I don't know about this one This goes against the entire spirit of what Nirvana wanted for their Unplugged show. Though, this is a pretty cool mix otherwise.
Support my work and buy me a coffee or tea. Pennyroyal, preferably.

Sludge Factory is a similar kind of riff, maybe that's what you're hearing.
@@RIOTEARTH sludge factory is a lot darker sounding tho I think he means the harmonising sounds similar to aic unplugged
@@TickAlick The verse guitar riffs are similar.

This goes against the entire spirit of what Nirvana wanted for their Unplugged show.
